Einstein Students Entering Medicine and Dermatology

Forty-one Einstein students will enter categorical or primary care Internal
Medicine residencies this July. The percentage of Einstein's graduating
class entering Internal Medicine is 23.2%, exceeding this year's national
average of 20.5% of USA grads entering Internal Medicine. Historically,
Einstein students enter Internal Medicine at a rate higher than the national
average.

This year's graduating medical students will enter a number of outstanding residency programs, including the following:

Interest by U.S. medical graduates in Internal Medicine as a career remains stable. The percentages of U.S. medical school grads entering Categorical Medicine programs have been: 19% in 2006, 18.9% in 2007, 18.5% in 2008, 18.1% in 2009, 18.2% in 2010, 18.9% in 2011, 18.7% in 2012, 19.1% in 2013, and 19.3% in 2014.

This year nationally, 48.5% of Internal Medicine matches were US grads,
compared to 49.9% in 2013, 55.7% in 2012, 57.8% in 2011, and 54.5% in 2010.

In Primary Care Internal Medicine, the number of offered positions continues
to rebound nationally: 247 in 2009, 259 in 2010, 286 in 2011, 311 in 2012,
335 in 2013, and 335 in 2014. Of the 335 Primary Care programs in this
year's match, only one went unfilled, an improvement over four unfilled
programs last year.

"Internal Medicine is alive and well at Einstein-Montefiore," said Dr. Victor Schuster, Chairman of the Department of Medicine.
"We continue to have a very high level of interest in Medicine by our
student body, and our house staff program remains extremely strong, both in
Primary Care/Social Medicine in Categorical Program."
